Tempted to trade in my 12 Pro and go for the 13 Pro Max. Battery life and improved cameras intrigue me.

Because it's an incredible feature. You can see both the time and your notifications by just taking a quick glance. I work as a teacher (not in a classroom, but one on one) and no matter how sneaky I try to be my students catch me at least 50% of the time. I need to check the time so they are not late for the next class and it makes me look like I'm counting down the minutes till they're gone. I know watches exist but I don't like wearing them because they make my eczema flair up.
I don't understand how they went from Midnight Green and Pacific blue to this... 😞
Hard pass. Keeping my 12 and waiting for the 14. Unlike the new iPad mini 6 (which I ordered immediately) the 13 is the very definition of an incremental update. Should have been called the 12s
My X to 12 Pro Max was the longest upgrade cycle I’ve done at 3 years. The 13 Pro Max gives me no reason to even consider it. But I think I could have guessed that going in.
First iPhone event where I've found the latest iPhone to be incredibly boring.
Saying mediocre is being kind. Wow. I can't say I was let down, however, as I wasn't expecting to be wowed anything.
Much more interested in the next round of Macs...
I was surprised too! Many people may choose base 13 pro due to its much smaller size now that Apple says it has better battery ...
iPhone 12 🅂 sorry iPhone 13 proves Tim Cook is right they need to go back to the spaceship office and collaborate, this is shocking!
First time I actually might not upgrade on day one ever. That's ok though. New camera upgrades might not be enough to convince me and I will have to see the reviews on the cameras and ProMotion. Cinematic video being limited to 1080p 30fps really a bummer.
Not quite. The leakers got the iPhone 13 camera layout correct, got 120Hz correct, got the 12 Pro Max sensor stabilization on all iPhone 13 model correct. We saw renders of the iPhone 13 cameras a while back. The biggest disappointment for me was the very incremental Series 7 upgrade. No new sensors or design. Not that the Series 7 isn’t a great watch but it’s not worth the upgrade from my Series 5. Next year looks like the year I’ll be shelling out for a new iPhone, Watch, and (M2?) iPad Pro.
Nothing. That’s the problem many of us are having. In my opinion, from the 11 Pro (which was a major jump up in camera quality from the XS), the iPhone and features have been incremental improvements, not major enough to warrant major expense every year. I will say, you will probably not notice a huge difference in speed, but you’ll notice a massive improvement in cameras coming from a XS.
I’m so glad the rumors were wrong, and the Pro still gets a fun color option.
The camera looks amazing, and, after feeling meh with the rumors, I’m suddenly excited again. I set my alarm to order.
But for the first time ever, I’m not getting the maximum storage option. I’m good with the 512 for another year at least.
The Pixel 6 can’t come soon enough. Google must be having a party right now after watching today’s press conference.
Yeah, thought they would jump on the WiFi 6E bandwagon with the Pros this year. 🤞 they’ll put those chips in on the iPhone 14s next year.
Ah, the perennial “iPhone Killer.” Been awhile since one of those has come around.
It always ends the same, of course.
Bro I went from a X to a 12 pro max and the difference was incredibly across just about every metric, from overall speed to camera quality.
It's only 1080p because they are not using physical defocus but instead they are generating a depth map and applying some depth blur that is probably going to look fake. Everyone who has used Fusion/Nuke knows a struggle when you need to generate proper bokeh with a depth map. You have to go with plugins such as Frischluft and Peregrine and pray you have enough cpu and ram resources to even pull a proxy.
Just once (once!) I'd like Apple to demo its shallow-depth-of-field fakery using people with REAL HAIR, rather than actors and models who are bald, wearing tight caps, or sporting perfectly tight or slick-and-flat hairstyles. The softballs they lob to the algorithm are pretty misleading: when we get these phones out into the real world where there's real hair (and sometimes real wind blowing it around), the depth-map cuts never look very good.
I want to see a demo video racking focus on a shaggy-haired sheepdog exactly one pandemic out from his last grooming, wearing an old-ratty-pilly dogsweater--not some perfectly-slicked blonde kid!
